Chapter 2 The best place to practice acting
Why do actors make so much money?
It's definitely not an unspoken rule, the first thing a director must consider is how not to lose money, even if some famous directors want to praise a newcomer, the newcomer must be suitable enough for the role and good enough acting, in other words, even if someone is dived, at least it means that she can be promoted to this role. As for the actor, it is even more of a circle of acting skills, sometimes no matter how well-connected you are, as long as the role is not suitable, some scenes will definitely not let you play. In other words, if an actor wants to get ahead, in addition to superb acting skills and broad contacts, the most important thing is to find his own way of acting, Liu Yiyang in "Naked Marriage" will not look for Sun Honglei to act, no one wants to see Liu Huaqiang is a man who will worry about milk powder money; Of course, Yu Zecheng in "Latent" is absolutely impossible to be played by Wen Zhang, he can't play the deep conspiracy to the bones.
Shao Yingying knows what his acting path is, he has a strong body, prominent muscles, a resolute appearance and a ...... hidden deep in his hat His acting path is a tough guy, in fact, when he was in the Beijing Film Academy, he played tough guy roles, but most of them were tough guys who died under the guns of devils or would rather die in prison, these so-called tough guys are just fleeting on the screen, and they can't see where the strength is, not to mention that today's audiences have long been accustomed to this kind of perseverance, and this kind of 'hardness' has long been unable to shake people's hearts. Shao Yingying needs to learn more about the professional acting of tough guys, which is definitely not something that professors on college campuses can teach.
After buying the 'virus' computer back from the Internet café, Shao Yingying took a week off, which could not make a qualitative leap in his acting skills, but this week allowed him to supplement everything he needed after finding his position.
Shao Yingying rented a separate house outside, and bought a mirror that could reflect his whole body, and then he began to watch TV series and movies day and night.
He saw Will Smith's performance in "I Am Legend", that sense of loneliness and unyielding is exactly the temperament of a tough guy, and when he went to watch "The Enemy of Love", he was completely dumbfounded, it turned out that the tough guy can really be performed, otherwise how could Will Smith stage that kind of wise tact in "The Enemy of Love"?
He watched "Angry Heart", at this moment, Shao Yingying really didn't expect that Jason Statham in the two big smoking guns could make himself so hard, he shuttled in the rain of bullets, his every look was angry, a hurricane movie made this guy who seems to be able to kill people with his eyes push the rhythm to the extreme!
There are many unexpected things in this computer, but there are also many things that Shao Yingying needs to think about himself.
For example, Sun Honglei's success, this is definitely not an accident, his early TV series "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind", the movie "My Father and Mother" performance is very focused, but he has not fully shown his characteristics, since "Conquest", everything has changed. At that time, Sun Honglei had a casual smile in an angry situation, a sudden roar in a critical situation, and even sometimes, his performance happened to be the opposite of the narrative rhythm of the whole story...... But it fits all the plots perfectly!
This is the characteristic of European and American actors, using the most inappropriate performance to show the mood that is most in line with the scene, which will make the audience quickly remember you and leave a deep impression.
Shao Yingying still remembers that his teacher talked about these things when he was in school, but at that time these things were just a sentence, nothing more, just like the phrase 'if you don't raise children, you don't know the kindness of your parents', and you will never understand the meaning behind the words before a child becomes a father. Don't get me wrong, the literal meaning hasn't changed at all, but if you haven't experienced it, you don't have the qualifications to understand.
After falling from the future star of the Beijing Film Academy to GLP KTV, Shao Yingying has seen too much in this magnificent KTV, and his understanding of the whole society has reached a deeper level, although he is still unable to perform the old drama bones of "Niu Ben" and "Lei Kesheng", but the meaning of these two words has completely changed in his heart.
Shao Yingying, who completely fell into this computer, was like being sucked in by a whirlpool and never being able to pull it out, and the whole person was deeply immersed in it.
He cried in the house, and on the basis of the original performance, he used crying to show the four emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; He laughed in the room, and there was sarcasm, helplessness, joy, and ecstasy in his laughter.
He began to practice his lines endlessly in the room, which could be a phrase that rang in his head at any time, but it had to be twisted and revised, such as: I love you. I love you! I, love you?
Now, Shao Yingying finally understands why the teachers of the Beijing Film Academy always have such a sentence on their lips, they said: "Entering the Beijing Film Academy only means that you have studied acting, it does not mean that you are an actor, and it will not make you destined to become a superstar." The entertainment industry is completely different from what you think, it is a battlefield for dogs and a paradise for wolves. ”
A week passed quickly, Shao Yingxing, who was not experienced in performance, had to go back to work, he had to live, and he had to improve himself crazy when he had no shortage of food and clothing, so he took GLP KTV as his crew.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Shao Yingying once again appeared at the door of the five-story 'GLP KTV', at this time the KTV already had guests coming, and the girls who didn't make much money the day before would start work a little earlier.
Shao Yingying, who was wearing a denim suit, just walked near the statue of Guan Gong, and bumped into the girl who had slapped his buttocks, Shao Yingying immediately remembered "The Enemy of Love", the whole person did not change his temperament without the slightest oil tone on his body, the moment the two faced each other, Shao Yingying suddenly showed a smile: "Hey, do you see what words are written on my chest?" ”
The little beauty with a ruddy face was suddenly stunned, she already had feelings for Shao Yingying, and she was more curious in her heart, out of this curiosity, she actually looked at Shao Yingying's chest carefully, and finally found nothing in the response: "What? ”
Shao Yingying smiled and poked his head next to the little beauty's ear, poured out hot air and said, "Don't touch it, haven't you visited the zoo wholesale market?" ”
After a sentence, Shao Yingying took a step forward, and the little beauty was so amused by Shao Yingying that she was about to burst out laughing...... Syllable!
This time it was Shao Yingying, he waved his hand and patted the little beauty's ass at the moment when his shoulders were at a loss, and then walked upstairs quickly, and said without looking back: "The original will be returned, and if you commit it again next time, you will have to charge interest." The laughter that should have come out was slapped back by Shao Yingying, and this sudden effect was like the superb performance in the movie.
Shao Yingying didn't go far, he listened to the little beauty's reaction at the corner of the stairs, because he was playing a 'national rival' with superb pickle skills, this kind of person will not only move his hands and feet when pursuing a girl, but also create enough comfort in this situation.
Three seconds!
Five seconds!
There is no screaming, no scolding that the girls usually don't pay attention to their image......
"Oops, you scared me." Da Liu suddenly came out of the staircase, babbling and saying, "What's wrong with you guys today?" The little beauty stood downstairs stupidly and looked at the staircase, you were hiding at the staircase, what's the matter, you just came back to work and opened your mind, playing peek-a-boo with the little beauty? Da Liu's face-cheap-smiling appearance conveyed a message that Shao Yingying had succeeded.
Shao Yingying didn't like that girl, but through her performance, she brought the little beauty into a comfortable environment, making the little beauty mistakenly think that she liked her, this is acting.
Yes, this is not authentic, but Shao Yingying has no place suitable for honing his acting skills except for practicing here, here, he can directly feel the feelings of the audience, Da Liu is a good example.
However, performing in front of the girls at the KTV is definitely not a difficult job, although the girls here have to face many customers every day, but there are very few girls who sort the guests and wait for everyone, if they can do all this, I am afraid that they will become Oiran long ago.
"Xiao Shao, you can be regarded as appearing, do you want to wait until we are all tired before coming to work?"
The foreman's face was not good, it was obvious that he was unhappy with Shao Yingying's replacement after leaving, after all, there were only a few waiters on the first floor, and there was a leave of absence for him, the foreman, who was going to do the work of a waiter, not to mention asking for a week.
Shao Yingying's footsteps up the stairs were slow after hearing the voice, and the whole person was panting as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, and when he climbed the stairs and stood in front of the foreman, he gasped heavily and said: "I'm sorry, I don't want to, but this severe cold is really uncomfortable, and I still don't breathe well......
Shao Yingying still remembers how to act in the movie, he let his eyebrows not be wrinkled, his hands drooped naturally, and his slightly hunched back showed that he was recovering from a serious illness with weakness.
"What class are you going to work for? Who is responsible if something happens? The foreman looked at Shao Yingying's appearance, and the other party's sallow face that stayed up late for a week became an important evidence, they all came out to work, who didn't have a problem, the foreman softened in his heart, and shouted into the distance: "Da Liu!" Da Liu!! Your private room is close to Xiao Shao, help him tonight. ”
Da Liu asked innocently, "Why!" ”
"What so much nonsense, let you do it!"
Da Liu was stupid, he remembered that the most popular person here was Shao Yingying, how could the foreman ......
Shao Yingying was full of joy, he succeeded again! What does it mean to be performing? It's to convince the audience! After the sense of substitution in movies or TV series appears, the audience's emotions are promoted, otherwise how can there be acting skills? It's just that Shao Yingying is not satisfied, not all the girls in KTV are old fritters, and this foreman may not have rich experience, and he wants his performance to step into a deeper level, so that the audience in front of the TV or the big screen will fluctuate with the plot, so that the guests who come here are Shao Yingxing's real test papers.
Most of the people who can come to 'GLP KTV' can hear the taste of expensive just by listening to the name are worth a lot of money and have rich social experience, if they can also recognize it......
When a regular customer appeared on the left, Shao Yingying posted it for the first time, and after approaching with an affectionate face, he said at a safe distance two steps away: "Mr. Zhang, you are here, which private room are you playing in?" In your capacity, it is definitely a VIP...... Mr. Zhang, my brother is likely to serve you for the last time, my hometown is flooded, the house is flooded, I have to go back and see how my family is......" Shao Yingying's enthusiasm from the beginning became dull through talking, and finally turned into loss, every expression was consistent with the current lines, and at the end, he was actually smiling!
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he seemed to see the worry in Shao Yingying's eyes, and even more in his frowning brows, and then he took out his wallet from his pocket and took out a banknote and stuffed it into Shao Yingying's hand.
Shao Yingying was stunned, looked at the banknote and didn't reach out to pick it up, but said with some dissatisfaction: "Mr. Zhang, I don't mean that, I just think that you haven't felt sorry for us when you come so many times, and you have to say hello if you want to leave, or you don't understand the world too much." ”
Mr. Zhang didn't speak, took out a banknote from his wallet, stuffed the two into Shao Yingxing's hand together, patted him on the shoulder and walked back to his private room.
"Mr. Zhang's spiritual !!"
A slightly moved and trembling voice came, and Mr. Zhang turned around at the door of the private room and smiled.
In the private room, Mr. Zhang hugged the girl next to him and said, "You know, I've never been so happy to tip." Today, I actually felt the sincerity of a waiter, and it was really-mother-wicked! ”
Da Liu is stupid, he never knew that Shao Yingying still had such shit luck, he took a week off and just got a tip of two hundred when he went to work, is this still the little Shao who always has a cold and stinky face? Where is the Shao Yingying, who always feels that he has no talent?
Shao Yingying was completely busy in GLP KTV, the whole person was running in the corridor, constantly borrowing various scenes to perform various roles, and he found that his depression here disappeared, all because he found his happiness.
Shao Yingying has a plan, he wants to save some money while improving himself quickly, and then buy a clothes that can see people and regain his strength. He wants to run the major crews, even if he has a chance after 10,000 failures, he will not give up.
Because Shao Yingying understands that as long as an actor has played more than three roles that can impress the audience, he can ask for a lot of money from the crew that invited him to join, but before finding these three starting points, the tribulations experienced by every actor are unimaginable to ordinary people. Above this starting point is splendor, and below the starting point, there may be a dilapidated house of less than ten square meters in the old urban village.
Therefore, hard work is the only condition for success.
